Currently have an 04. The 4.2 has 275 hp w/ 290 ft lbs of torque. This is more hp than my 5.4 F250. It pulls fine with the majority of torque available in lower rpms, Gas mileage, never got over 21 on a trip. About 19-20 combined mileage. Fit and finish, good. I am however, on my third complete dash. Fortunately, my insurance company gave me repair coverage up to 100k miles. I do know I tested an Explorer w/ v6 and v8, a Dodge Dakota v6 ( did not want a hemi) all on the same day. The 4.2 had more hp than the v8 explorer and more power than both the ford and dodge. It was loaded and listed for $33k. We've got 72k on the truck and we'll keep it till it falls apart. We only drive it about 5k a year. I know Willie had problems with his, but my dealer handled everything in a timely manner. The dash issue was a problem from the Chevrolet vendor, and not an assembly issue as they do not manufacture their own dash units. Mine is a 2 wheel drive. Good luck in your search.
